Physical Appearance

Poltergeists appear invisbilie to the normal eye and when visible their whole body appear but translucide. They do have clothes on that don't appear translucide unlike Apparitions..

In most cases Poltergeists are teenagers, young adults, adults, or elderly person's ghosts. Elderly person's are rarer because life expectancy is longer and therefore old age deaths usually involve no regrets. Children cannot become Poltergeist for the simple reason that they become Spooks.

Ecology

To reach peace, a Poltergeist needs to either free itself from this regret by achieving what they could not do before their death, or to overcome this regret. In almost all cases where an elderly person becomes a Poltergeist, it is to stay with their loved one in order to wait for them.

If a Poltergeist succomb to their regrets or give up on them. Then there would be no comeback and they become Shades.

Diet

Being Ghosts, Poltergeists do not need to eat in order to survive.

Habitat

Poltergeists can be found in any type of environment but they tend to regroup and live in or near populated towns. There is however some haunted towns that are populated with mostly Poltergeists like Ormir in Gallia.

Rarity

Common

Behavior

Poltergeist mostly behave just like any normal living person. They tend to live among people, these being either their living loved one, around other ghosts, other Poltergeists or just living people in general.

They can become a threat if upset, angry or attacked but they generally stay quite calm. It is worth noting that Poltergeists are still ghost of previously living people and they keep their own personality so this has a huge influence on their behavior.

Threat level

★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Docile: Poltergeists mostly have a quite peaceful behavior and "live" their life as they want, trying to eventually get rid of their regrets. However, as every beings, they can also get upset, angry at people and tries to hurt them. Since they have a very good ability to interact with the world of the living, they can hurt people by throwing objects and sometimes even push the livings. You better be nice with people and especially with the dead ones.

Abilities

Poltergeists have a better ability to interact with the world of the living. They can move objects much more easily than other Ghosts and make noises.

Magic

It is known that the type of magic that allows Poltergeist to manipulate different things of the world of the living is the Spirit elemental magic. However, it is unkown why they keep this ammount of inner mana after their death.

The most common spell used by Poltergeists is telekinesis. They tend to use this magic to move objects more than their own force.

Use

Poltergeists have no use in any spells or rituals. It is however possible for Wiccans to invoke them through a ritual of Unbound Creature Invocation. The fact that it is unbound means that the Poltergeist will have either no obligation to show up or no intent to cooperate with the Wiccan. In some cases, the Poltergeist can feel attacked and can try to hurt the Wiccan as a defense mecanism.

There are many reasons that a Wiccan can try to invoke a Poltergeist but the main reasons are: in a Rituals & Incantation class for Wiccan students, in a spiritualism way to communicate with a loved one or to get informations from the ghosts in a Knight case.

History

Many people discuss the realtion between Phantoms and Wiccan's familiars. Some people even think that Phantom may be the first stage of becoming a Familiar. Yet, many writings reject this hypothesis through the simple fact that Phantoms and Familiars comes from different dimensions, one being the Spirit Dimension and the other being the Familiar Dimension. Another fact that goes against this hypothesis is the extreme diversity of the Familiars while the rarity of the fauna isn't that balanced. Therefore, many consider this hypothesis as refuted.

Physical Appearance

Phantoms have, like most of the Ghosts, a translucide body and depending on the specie of the deceased animal will be able to fly, float or only walk.

It has to be noted that Phantoms do not look like they did in their previous life. Indeed, Phantoms regress in evolution to look like another world's fauna that do not possess mana. More specifically they look like the animals of the Familiar dimension except with no Wiccans and no power.

Ecology

Wiccarium's fauna is different from the human world's since it is affected by mana, explaining why the fauna developed differently. For an unknown reason, when animals die their ghost seems to lose a great quantity of mana, causing a different evolution.

Animals based on the human world's animals will have their ghost return to the human world's animals shape. Animals created from mana or animals too much influenced by it will simply regress in their evolution. The last point especially concerns Draconis, Plantaes, Beasts: Orcus and Totoro, and Magic Beings.

Diet

Being Ghosts, Phantoms do not need to eat in order to survive. However, since Phantoms are not aware they are dead they tend to hunt for alive fauna but it's nerver quite successful not being able to interefere with the Real Dimension.

Physical Appearance

The body of a Haunt is a full humanoid body of a critical thinking being of the bestiary. The whole form is slightly translucide and the type of death determine the color of the body. If the Haunt is attached to the body, the bones are usually attached to the body or eventually the tomb of the place.

Ecology

Haunts' attachment is determined by what they felt before their last breath: if it is a feeling of hatred the Haunt will attach itself to someone; if there is no feeling of hatred then the Haunt will stay attached to its own corpse.

In the case where the Haunt is attached to someone, it attaches itself to the first living person it encounters.

When it stays attached to its own corpse, then it will follow it wherever it goes. Usually, the corpse is quickly found and moved to a morgue or cemetery. In those cases, the Haunt can not go further than the cemetery and decide to protect its grave. However, if the corpse is not found quickly, or at all for that matter, the Haunt will protect its corpse and will not be able to move too far away from it.

Lost Haunts can either be harmless if they died peacefully or not too long ago. But if they died with hatred or protect their body for a very long time. Lost Haunts can become very hostile due to the fact that if their corpse is destroyed the Haunt itself will disappear.

Finally Vengeful Haunts that died with a feeling of hatred. This types of Haunt clutchs to a person that is near when they died, if the Haunt was murdered then it'll try to attach to them to make their life harder. In another term Vengeful Haunts want to, as their name stand for, haunt them. If the person causing their death is not around then they attach to the first person they see and will try and find their prey through them. When a person is being haunted then they become very "heavy" and unlucky, they tend to slip and fall or get unexplainable cuts and bruises easily.

Threat level

★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ Harmless to Wild: From harmless that can cause little injuries but no more than a scratch to wild that associate another specie as a threat. When they're in a hostile mood, they're not to approach or will cause harm.

Abilities

Haunts do have the ability to interact with the Real dimension in a way that they're able to defend themselves if attacked. The only magical ability observed with Haunts is this unluckiness and heaviness they cause to people they haunt.

Magic

The only magical ability known is this power of unluckiness they cause to haunt people but no one know from where it comes from. It is supposed that they gain those power by feeding directly from the mana of the person they haunt causing this heavy feeling. This means that the revenge they seek give this unluckiness to the person they're attached to as a punishment if the haunted caused the death or as a scapegoat.

Use

Being ghosts, Haunts have no use in any spells or rituals.

Physical Appearance

The body of the ghosts are transparent and the eventual clothes they wears are translucide but not as much as the body. Apparitions have a humanoid body but the lower part of their body appears as smoke. This is caused by the large energy cost of their manifestation.

Ecology

The way an Apparition is created is completely unknown but it has been observed that only close relatives or friends show themselves as an Apparition. This is interpreted as a part of their soul stayed with the person they care about in order to protect them from anything.

Furthermore, gifted people that could see invisible Spiritum have stated that Apparition are completely absent from the Real Dimension when they aren't manifesting to protect a loved one.

Diet

Being Ghosts, Apparitions do not need to eat in order to survive.

Habitat

Apparitions only appears near their loved one and are not seen in a specific environment.

Rarity

Uncommon

Behavior

An Apparition appears to warn of a danger or to help with distress. Times of distress mostly (only) refers to mental distress. In this case, their presence has a soothing and comforting effect on the person.

In general, they always try to touch the person, which creates a slight breeze or cold feeling. But they can not interact with the living world's environment, which causes them to pass through everything they touch.

As stated before, since Apparitions only manifest for a brief ammount of time then their reassuring or their message is often short and sometimes even cut off.

Threat level

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ - Null: Completely inoffensive, Apparitions have no intention to harm any being as their own purpose is to protect.

Abilities

Apparitions have no magical abitilies. They put all of their energy to show themself in the real dimension and most likely can appear only once before fading to the Spirit Dimension.

Use

Being ghosts, Apparition have no use in any spells or rituals.

History

Their name refers to their brief manifestation in time. Indeed, the simple act of showing themselves to people costs a lot of energy, and their messages are often short. The energy cost is also why Apparitions can not completely manifest and that only the upper part of their body is defined.

Physical Appearance

The body of the ghosts are transparent and the eventual clothes they wears are translucide but not as much as the body. Spooks with the white sheet is completely opaque and usually, this sheet never leaves them.

Ecology

Habitat

Spooks wander in any type of environment but they are found mostly in cities and even more at playgrounds.

Rarity
